I guess it is doing something what the other person does not like in the short term, but is better for them in the long term.
I would never use this in a relationship. We are both adults and there is no use to playing games or for me to "educate" the other person. If I want something, we will talk about it like two grownups.
With children it is a different matter. You have to educate them and therefor you sometimes have to be strickt with them. For example, not letting them go to a party or playing outside because they still have homework to do.
